  Rachel:

  Good to see LT. I prefer to avoid such things myself.

  Do you mean that you prefer to avoid taking the rise out of yourself?
  It's a British pastime. We laugh at ourselves and the world at large, with a genuine smile on our faces.
  There are few people that we genuinely hate, except those who serve warm beer and people who harm horses...

  Naw, I just don't leave myself open for it on a big forum like this. With a group of friends...bring it on. Besides, I have to watch out for Doc Watson....I got him rather good yesterday and he's watching my every move.

  Um, OK Quickly going to the warm garage to rescue the beer...

  ROFL
  I must search out that thread - I feel so out of touch with just getting back.
  He's a feisty one, that DocWatson

  I guess that's why the JWs insist that their leadership be made up of dried up, miserable, prudish old men.

  I honestly find this whole topic fasinating. If we, the Americans and Brits - who are also exjws - frequently find it hard to understand one another and this causes issues - how the heck are the governments of countries like USA, Korea and Arab Nations going to ever figure each other out?

  If only everyone could just be like us

  Yeah, I wondered who would be the first to point out that I'm in charge

  Looks like Derek won the prize, then

  But back to my original point, which all you bourgeois-fascists seem to be avoiding:

  What the heck have the Roman's ever done for us?

  What the heck have the Roman's ever done for us?

  XERXES:

  The aqueduct?

  REG:

  What?

  XERXES:

  The aqueduct.

  REG:

  Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.

  COMMANDO #3:

  And the sanitation.

  LORETTA:

  Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

  REG:

  Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.

  MATTHIAS:

  And the roads.

  REG:

  Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--

  COMMANDO:

  Irrigation.

  XERXES:

  Medicine.

  COMMANDOS:

  Huh? Heh? Huh...

  COMMANDO #2:

  Education.

  COMMANDOS:

  Ohh...

  REG:

  Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

  COMMANDO #1:

  And the wine.

  COMMANDOS:

  Oh, yes. Yeah...

  FRANCIS:

  Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.

  COMMANDO:

  Public baths.

  LORETTA:

  And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.

  FRANCIS:

  Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.

  COMMANDOS:

  Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

  REG:

  All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

  XERXES:

  Brought peace.

  REG:

  Oh. Peace? Shut up!
